Ann Romney: Obama's whole campaign strategy is "let's kill this guy"

[WI_DEM]

I really dislike this woman--to me she comes off as a snooty bitch who thinks she and her family are entitled to anything. And Ann, what about your husband's primary campaign which spent millions in negative ads to destroy (kill?) his opponents. Look in the mirror.


(CBS News) On a mission to shatter the image of her husband as rigid and unrelatable, Ann Romney told CBS News she worries that President Obama's entire campaign strategy is "kill Romney."


"I feel like all he's doing is saying, 'Let's kill this guy," she said, seated next to her husband, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, in an exclusive interview with CBS News chief political correspondent Jan Crawford. "And I feel like that's not really a very good campaign policy.

1. Is it, Ann? Really?

Your husband's a lying, two-faced, job-outsourcing, rich snob. I'd say killing his political career in the cradle is perfectly justified.

And I think you ought to take a long hard look at Mitt's campaign before you start accusing Obama of just being "Not Mitt Romney".

[dionysus]

4. that makes me picture an 8 year old crammed into a cradle

he's been running for president for 8 years , and gotten... nowhere. only reason he made it this far was that his opponents were even worse jokes than he is. and that's sad.

[Arkana]

13. Eight years?

Willard's been running ever since he lost to Kennedy in 1994, even if he wasn't a candidate until 2008.

[madashelltoo]

2. Aw, it's getting to you ya, huh?

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. it is a dog whistle

"Kill this guy?" Wow.

[knitter4democracy]

31. My first thought, too.

He's the scary black man who's going to kill the nice white guy! Watch out! Oooooooooh!

Racist bigot.

[noel711]

5. Dear Ann RMoney..

First, get a grip!

You need to get out more!

As a privileged, coddled wife of a privileged, coddled rich guy,
you need a reality check!

First of all..if Michelle OBama said what you said,
the media (specially your good friends at FOX) would be blasting her to hell...

AND... hyperbole (I use that word in the nicest possible way)
is the political playbook... particularly the Republican playbook:
don't believe me? Talk to your good buddy KKKKarl Rove...

And "Kill him?" Well, just check out what words have come out of the
mouths of your beloved Tea Party imbeciles..
and many of the beloved republican congressional morons.
I think they have that commented trademarked to fling at the president.

Oh.. be forewarned: Now that you've dipped your dainty, pedicured toe
in the cesspool of political opinionating... you are fair game.
So don't go running to the mittster if people start flinging shit at you.

It's politics honey!

6. Go back to wearing your $900 t-shirts while riding your $500k horses

I'm sure you have dozens to pick from.

[crunch60]

21. Ann doesn't really ride her horses, just goes to watch them in shows, good tax

deduction. She also sold her very drugged injured horse "Super Hit"
snip:

Ann Romney's drugged horse, Super Hit.
Animal lovers, especially horse lovers do not do this. People who are using animals for monetary gain do these things. I am disgusted by the use of their horses to gain political attention and they should be found out about how little they really care for their horses. It's all about the money my friends. I don't want these people anywhere near the White House.

he lawsuit was settle out of court, after an expert witness testified, “In my 38 years of practice, I have never come across a drug screen such as this where the horse has been administered so many different medications at the same time.”

7. Like I posted before

Ann Romney=Barbara Bush on steroids.

[tanyev]

8. Don't you need to start packing for your trip to London, Ann?

[RDANGELO]

9. My race odometer is ticking up.

Last week they show old clips of Hillary calling the President a liar. Now they have Romney's wife saying that he wants to kill her husband. In both cases you have a white woman being the victim to the black man. The Hilliary thing is especially blatant because she obviously now supports the President.

[AnnaLee]

15. Agree; "blacky is gonna rape your women and kill your men. whitey - be very afraid"

People fail to realize the subliminal beliefs and fears of some that are tapped by such statements when it is a black man.

Don't forget Palin's crosshairs.

[agent46]

35. Nailed it

[KurtNYC]

10. An odd word choice but it seems to show what she is surrounded by.

This is more Rovian flip stuff. On my scorecard the RW talks about killing Obama daily and they literally mean killing.

Perhaps Ann would like to comment on the Idaho truck-towed outhouse with bullet holes and whether she feels that that is "a very good campaign policy."

[Blanks]

27. I hadn't heard about that outhouse thing.

Do you have a link. I'm from Idaho, originally.

[KurtNYC]

33. Here is a link. And I see now it was Montana...

http://www.mediaite.com/online/montana-gop-convention-features-obama-presidential-library-outhouse-with-fake-bullet-holes/

(I also forgot that they called them "fake&quot ?!) bullet holes -- made by fake bullets apparently.)

[monmouth]

11. I wonder if she would want to live in the White House if gawd forbid....n/t

[msu2ba]

18. Of course not.

She'd want to knock it down and build a big one. Or, at least redecorate that dreary interior.

[KurtNYC]

34. The rose garden would be full of dancing pony poop.

[Marrah_G]

12. I cannot stand that woman

Nasty, selfish, entitled brat who I would love to see dropped onto a deserted island with a swiss army knife, a ball of string and some potatoes.

[Booster]

22. Made me laugh outloud. Thanks for that. What a picture.

[HopeHoops]

14. Let her keep talking. It gets better every day.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. Wonder how much coverage these comments will get?!

That is a pretty ugly statement to make IMHO though I'm afraid that it won't get as much coverage and pundit yammering as those comments about her "not working a day in her life".

[SoutherDem]

17. You know what is really bad,

She can say what she wants and no one, outside of places like DU, will call her on it, because she has MS.
I really feel for her. My sister has it and it is a horrible disease. But, if you are going to have it I can't think of being in a better situation. She has seen the best neurologist in the world, has been given the best treatments and the best medicines, all with no worries of cost at all. No worries of losing her job for taking off too much.

MS or not she is a old retread of a valley girl. She feels struggles are having to sell American Motors stock given to your husband as a kid. By the way she said it was a few thousand shares purchased at $6 and sold at $96. If a few thousand was only 2000 then that was $32,000 in the late 1960s. Oh, my how did they make it?

Sorry but what a ______!

[LynneSin]

20. I'm not giving her a pass for the MS

She's putting herself out there so she better be able to take it.

I know people with MS and they struggle. They struggle everyday to make ends meet and many of them still keep their jobs because it's the only way they are going to be able to get the treatments they need to survive having MS. They can't afford round the clock servants, cooks and nannies to take care of their home and they can't afford $500k dress horses because someone said it's good rehabilitation for someone with MS.

If anyone is a spokesperson for MS it surely isn't Ann Romney. She will never know what it's like to have MS and be a part of the working class. It's a struggle for most people, the regular folks like you and I.

19. Project much, Ann?

24. She's a billionaire

with attitude, barf.

[siligut]

25. And here she is after Mitt lands in prison for tax evasion (video)

http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000096656

OK, this is really the wife of Shawn Merriman. But she demonstrates the similar tunnel vision that Mormon women are taught to have regarding their husbands.

Shawn Merriman was head of an investment firm and lay bishop in the Mormon church who persuaded friends, family, and church members to invest with him. It turned out to be a big scam, taking in more than $21 million. Among victims: his own mother. The Ponzi scheme, which continued for 15 years, landed Merriman behind bars, and his investors out of money.

[katsy]

26. ms. rmoney doesn't understand the difference

between stating facts and bullshit.

President Obama's team is presenting the facts as they know them.

Refute or shut up team 1%.

[JaneQPublic]

28. Newt and Rick S. could say the same about her husband.

Hypocritical much?

[karynnj]

29. Maybe she should say why anything Obama has said in an ad is a lie

- especially as her husband's ads against Obama have lied - including using half a sentence when Obama quoted McCain to be what Obama thought.

Then ask if she said word one in 2004 when the Republican president's campaign lied about a very decent man who was a war hero - a sacrifice Romney avoided.

[treestar]

30. It's getting too hot for her?

Like then get out of the kitchen if you can't take it.

Good grief. Like they are being so nice to the President in their campaign.

[Deep13]

32. This would be a more sympathetic complaint if...

1. The Rs have not pursued a campaign of character assassination for ever D. nominee since McGovern, and

2. If Romney didn't suck dog ass through a straw.

[Warren Stupidity]

36. serious wtf.

will the media attack her like a pit bull? Will they go Sam Donaldson all over her ass over this? Fuck no they wont.

[catbyte]

37. Please, just stfu Ann. Nobody cares how persecuted you feel.

38. a family of clueless douches

the 1% writ large.

[rock]

39. Now why would Obama choose a plan that ended up with Rmoney dead?

The Rpublicans would still vote for him.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

40. "How dare Obama not let our multi-million $$$ Koch Bros. negative ads run unopposed"

"He should know his place."

[kiranon]

41. Strange use of words by Mrs. Romney. Projection?

Since when is this idea just another "campaign policy"? In whose play book? Not the Democrats. She sounds beyond out of touch to me.

[DearAbby]

42. ANN ROMNEY That is a blatant lie...

NAME ONE TIME, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

Is this racial? Feeding the stereotypical caricature of a Black man, as someone to fear. And such language, violent, threatening, and transparent.

GOP that desperate for votes?


Edit: I posted the exact thing on Huffington Post, and it was removed.

[AnnaLee]

46. Does Huffington tell you why they removed it?

[DearAbby]

47. Nawh just said comment removed

I suppose I did say it harshly...I should have left out ANN ROMNEY is a blatant liar, and kept the rest. Surely that shouldn't have been censored.

[Bluerthanblue]

43. No Ann that would be more like this:

[TeamPooka]

44. Ask Newt Gingrich about overkill Ann

Let's see what he says about it.

BTW Ann,
You ain't seen nothing yet lady.

[politicasista]

45. In the words of

Mr. Brown from "Meet the Browns":

"You a lie"
